Thank you! Organising a street collection in aid of the Irish Wheelchair Association, I was given the date of the 24th of June in Kenmare. Off we went, my helpers and I, with our collection buckets out into the streets of Kenmare on what must have been the wettest day of 2011 so far. I am talking torrential with a driving cold wind! I understood the meaning of ‘Flag Day’. Only for some shop keepers taking pity on us all we would have collected that day would have been buckets of water. So in the name of all the helpers that day I like to give a big Thank you to Andrea, Robert and their lovely staff at Whyte's Centra, to the Management and nice staff of Murphy's SuperValu for allowing Michael O'Sullivan Chairman of Kenmare Mart presents us to collect within their premises, and to John from the Post Office for Joanne Murphy Kilgarvan and her son Patie with the the offer and loan of an umbrella! trophies for their Supreme Champion a Belgiam Blue Bull at Many thanks also to everyone who donated and made it 'our day' the August Show & Sale at Kenmare Mart.

There was a great buzz around town, with people interested to get a glimpse of the new-look bar. It was touch and go as to whether it would be ready to meet the opening deadline, but with one minute to go the last detail was put in place and the doors opened on time at 7pm. People slowly trickled in and by 10 o’clock, the place was rocking. The Bar had been closed for some time and so was in need of some refurbishment, repairs and decoration. Not to mention furniture, glasses and drink! With the keys to the bar only being taken over on the Bank Holiday Monday, the team effectively had just 4 days to complete the job. It was an incredible undertaking and a lot of people worked very hard – some through the night – to ensure the Bar was ready for the opening evening. For anyone who has already visited the new Ryan’s Bar, we hope you will agree that the decor and furniture give the place a comfortable and stylish ambience. If you haven’t yet visited, call in and see what you think. Ryan’s Bar is open from 5pm daily and offers cocktails, fine wines and speciality coffees, together with regular live music and great promotions. Some of these include Cocktail evenings, 10% discount evenings and unique Club evenings. The Vibe Nightclub will be re- opening shortly and will be for Over 21s only. Completely refurbished and up-dated, this will add a new perspective to Kenmare’s infamous nightlife. Available for private party bookings. For further information on Ryan’s Bar, follow them on Facebook – www.facebook.com/ryansbarkenm are or contact the management at the Kenmare Bay Hotel.
